Chizhou Tea Factories

The Chizhou Tea Factories occupy an industrial complex associated with the production of Keemun black tea. Original warehouses, workshops, production equipment, and an intact wooden processing line provide the framework for adaptation. Modestly scaled new structures accommodate hospitality, cultural events, and public activities. Tea production, tasting, exhibitions, and social functions are interconnected across the site. Preserved machinery and working processes keep the industrial heritage tangible through continued use. Tea making therefore acts as both the functional thread uniting retained and new spaces and the central idea guiding the factories' adaptive reuse.
